Crimes against yuccas

I’ve read a few blogs where the author is lamenting the pineappling of a (formerly) beautiful agave. And even worse…sometimes the agave is in their own garden and they’ve come home to see the hired help has gotten a little out of hand (Germi I’m talking about you!). So I felt a bit of sympathetic horror when I saw these.

These aren’t in my garden (thank god), and I can recognize the skill that went into this job, he didn’t just hack at them…

But really? Just let a yucca be a yucca! If it’s planted in the wrong place (these look like they may have been infringing on a driveway and the stairs) then move them. But please people…don’t give a perfectly wonderful yucca a poodle-do!

I have seen so much yucca abuse in my life, people will literally just lawn mower over them here. They are like "oh look at this slightly exotic looking weed it in the way of my boring grass, I must destroy."
